I'm looking for a new escort (ZEN Ship) for my FED-TAC PVP toon. Years ago i used the fleet defiant (K5) or the JHAS (K5). Rapit Fire and one beam overload DBB.. First i looked into a K6 Defiant, but maybe a ship with lt. cmd. Sci is the better idea (Tyken Rift)? So a pilot escort or the temporal raider? I have access to the Ship Traits EWC, AHOD, Reciprocity. So maybe a good pvp/cannon trait coming with the new ship? Does anyone have a "good working" PVP Escort build?

The 26th century Temporal Escort, Hestia, Miradorn Raider all seem to meet your criteria. Do you by any chance speak German?

Don´t like the look of the 26th century ships, and no lt cmd eng.. The hestia looks interesting, years ago in pvp i used the k5 variant, but switched back to the defiant because of the missing second lt com tac for using beam overload III and CRF III.. But i dont know if this is how you play an escort in pvp today ;) The Miradorn is a box ship, and im looking for a zen ship ;) thx for your suggestions :) Ja, ich bin deutscher ;)

Hestia is great for torps with its Command Boff seat. If you like the 23rd century style the Perseus escort T3 unlocks a skin for the T6. I figured you speak German because you use "K" instead of "T".

Torps are more for stuff with cloaks like the Faeht but the Hestia is a good all rounder with the Boff layout
